The Real Agricultural Revolution by Paul Brassley
An investigation into farming practices throughout a period of seismic change.
[An] excellent and coherent volume[...] Highly recommended. -- CHOICE
This book does a wonderful job of combining historical statistics with personal recollections to create a clear and compelling case for the character of technological changes in English agriculture. [...] The authors have given us an excellent rebuttal to technological determinism, and raised a number of very important questions for other scholars to consider in their assessments of modernization. -- HISTORIA AGRARIA
The book is fascinating...for the illustration and illuminating details, both of national conditions and trends and more so from individual stories and responses. * JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS *
This study sets the individual stories against the national statistics, and in doing so provides a framework for future work -- Nicola Verdon * Family & Community History *
